SANTA CLARA -- Seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams admits to actually looking forward to playing in the preseason this summer.
After sitting out all of last season, he felt playing in some dress rehearsals might allow him to ease his nerves for the opening of the regular season on Sept. 13 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Instead, Willamss is happy to settle for the next-best thing throughout 49ers training camp.
Defensive Nick Bosa has raved about the advantages of going up a player of Williams’ unique blend of size, strength, agility and technique.
